Suppressing the initial cursor is more or less expected.  We added a
patch for that to make the transition from plymouth to gdm prettier, in
which the server doesn't show a cursor until an application defines one.
However, there was a logic error in the patch which made it actually
suppress the cursor until the third or fourth time you defined one.
Oops.

I could have sworn I'd fixed that in F10 as well as in upstream, but it
appears not.  I'll push an F10 update.
